I have a wide variety of makeup brands immy makeup kit nd I was wondering how important is it to switch makeup to gluten-free. I did by different shampoo and conditioner. it is biolage i don't think there is gluten in it. I haven't switched makeup yet though because I have to find gluten-free brands. Has everyone switched all their makeup or do some people still use whatever?

I waited until I got my Enterolab test results back and as soon as I got them and saw that they were positive...I switched everything to gluten-free.

I actually didnt have to change that much after calling all the companies there were only a couple things I had to change as far as make-up.

Rachel - What kind of make up products do you buy? I've been researching it a little trying to come up with a brand that doesn't have to purchased online. My husband is the celiac but I thought it might be a good idea for me to go ahead and change my makeup so if he kissed me (even on the cheek) it wouldn't be a problem.

I called all the companies first and verified what was ok and what was not. I ended up only changing my blush to Neutrogena and my lipgloss to Bare Esentuals. Everything else I use is safe. All of the Bare Esentuals stuff is gluten-free if you are interested.

Rachel - Thanks. Can you buy the Bare Escentuals at Department stores or do you buy it online? I was worried about the face powder having gluten. I guess I will call the company and see what they say.

The reason why products matter is because they can easily get into your mouth.

Think about it..if you wash your hands with gluten containing soap and then prepare your food you cross contaminate.

With shampoos, it can easily slide down your face in the water and how often do you touch your hair throughout the day without even thinking about it...that gets gluten on your hands.

With makeups it is the same thing..you touch your face maybe subconsciously to rub your eye or something and then its now on your hands...makeup is obviously the most important because that's right on your mouth

With nail polish biting your nails or making food can make it chip off and get traces in there.

Every angle needs to be looked at because every little bit can and will damage you.

Lipstick and toothpaste and that is a given.

Perfumes and hairsprays are airborne so can get into your digestive tract by breathing in particles.

I love the Bare Escentuals makeup and use alot of that. I like to use natural stuff as much as possible. I also use some of Burt's Bees products. I do use some CoverGirl makeup though as well.

There are some lists available that can help with guidelines for products.

I understand how cross contamination can be a real problem and how what you wash your hands with is important. But what do you do out in public when you wash your hands? I have to go to clients' offices all over town as I'm in sales. This week I used the rest room in three office buildings and of course used their soap - not all gluten-free I'm sure. Do you take your own soap everywhere? Or is some anti-bacterial stuff gluten-free and we should use that after we wash with unknown soaps?

Jennifer,

I got my Bare Esentuals lip gloss at Sephora. Not sure where you live or if you have one near you?? You can also order online. B.E. products are a little pricey though.

Thanks Kaiti! You're always quick with an answer. I'll get some Purell this weekend when getting my non-food gluten-free stuff.

I order my Bare Escentuals from QVC. If you call the BE customer service # at QVC--1-800-345-4492, they will send you a free catalogue. They have one for Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer. If you order from the catalogue, they reduce the shipping to $3.97 for the whole order. I had been using BE foundations, blush etc. since before I had to be gluten-free. Since then, I've switched my mascara and lip products over, too.

Estee Lauder and most of these companies I believe do have some products which arent gluten-free...its always best to call and verify. From what I understand alot of the info in The Gluten Free Bible isn't accurate so again...its always best to double check.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
